Our finishing capabilities now include a new Spot UV machine inhouse. We also offer bio-degradable laminate

Other finishes available are:

UV Spot Varnish Spot varnish is a high gloss UV varnish applied to selected areas of a printed image to enhance product impact or form part of the graphic design.

Foil Blocking These finishes can provide the ultimate in decorative appeal. They are not limited to gold and silver foils, but extend to an impressive range of pigmented, holographic and security foils.All of these can be combined with embossed images to produce varying tactile effects - any one of which will enhance the printed message and provide shelf appeal for greetings cards, cartons, magazine covers, brochures etc.

Embossing Embossing gives you the opportunity to enhance your print with stunning 3-D effects. Embossing is particularly effective when used in conjunction with our other processes i.e. matt lamination and spot U.V with the spot U.V image embossed out of the lamination or foil blocking and embossing��. Let your imagination run wild!!!

Encapsulation Encapsulation is a process whereby two pieces of film encase a printed card. The tough transparent film is heat bonded to the substrate and to itself at the edges to form a seal that is both tough and damage resistant.

Textures Textured finishes combine extra tough gloss or matt OPP film lamination and the texture of graining, which together give durability to products such as school book covers, technical pamphlets; travel guides, art prints and menus, and provides for unusual and prestigious packaging on items such as video cassette cases where the customer wants the extra benefit of texture

Gloss OPP Lamination Gloss OPP (oriented polypropylene) lamination provides a wide range of uses across the whole spectrum of printed products. The properties of good gloss and strength and the advantages of low cost make it suitable for all the following applications: Company report and accounts, Brochures, Catalogues, Carrier bags, Greeting cards, Book jacket covers, Magazines, Maps, Labels, Point-of-sale and Displays.

Matt OPP LaminationThis Matt finish coupled with its smooth texture offers a very high quality image to brochures and book covers. Matt finishes are also particularly suited to surfaces which need to be easily read such as wall maps, but can be prone to scuffing and should be handled with care.

Other available finishes available are “Fragrance Burst” & Silver Latex “Scratch off.” Please contact our sales team for further information or use the contact form on our site and someone will be in touch.
